Bit of an update, Last weekend the 2 week Turbo Cabby challenge started, I need the car ready and running by next Sunday as the weekend after I’m taking it to Forge Motorsport event at Castle Combe, That was a total of 3 weeks, which will give me a week to get a few running in miles and give it a bit of a shake down, Combe is only 60 miles from my house so not too far.
Anyway with all the parts ready to go or on order after the MOT the stripe down began. Every part coming of is being striped and painted before going back on.
Few pics of the progress












Well that’s before it was cleaned etc

Dash out for the wiring changes and to add the Amal valve wiring, fitted the chipped OFAC ECU and also had to change the leaky Matrix at the same time.








That’s after a chuffing good clean.

Starter striped back to bare metal and etched and satin blacked, looks a million times better.




Deflex ERST full poly bush set turned up mid week


I do have an IB5 box to go in and a spare LSD S2 diff, but due to time i havn’t yet got around to fitted the diff so I’ll sort this out in a few weeks time, just want it up and running at the moment.
Engine is in as is the box with a pair of VibraTech box mounts I had in the garage.

Will be cracking on tomorrow with a bit of luck.
